Quoted from chooch:Are there any other podcasts that keep you up to date with what is going on in the hobby at a frequency such as Kaneda's without being a shill so they can get interviews?
If you just want a summary of activity... just read twip.
Quoted from delt31:I like twip.
That isn't a replacement and for people that get it, that's obvious
They said they want a summary of whats going on. Thats twip. If thats not enough and still need this monologue of a posers “thoughts” then you arent just looking for news... but instead subscribing for an ill informed view of the world... but says things you want to hear... so suck it up. He’s proven over and over the lack of knowledge or credibility... so if you tune in for the “take on things”... you’ve picked horrible views
Quoted from delt31:Yes as expected you don't get it. Not surprised. What is a fact though is that he has real news that actually happens and that's really interesting to hear what might happen before it does
Most importantly he's not a schill.
Non-sense. You realize why people like him get leaks right? Because people feed him the details they want out.
You all act like he's the big investigative reporter exposing what you the listener needs to know! He's manipulated and plays games to pump his own image. The sides he takes are shaped largely by how people treat him. Lack of objectivity is just like being a shill. Distorted, manipulated, and played. People portray him as some 'consumer advocate'... why? Because he rants online? Pfft.
People's need to share and get leaks out has always preceded Chris.. and they will always be there after as well. The only difference is when there is someone who is willing to post it publicly for all to see.. and those come and go like the tides.
Quoted from DCFAN:The one thing he seems to care about much more than the majority of pinball owners is rarity. I guess that comes with having only a small space and only one game at a time.
It comes from his interest as a speculator more than a hobbyist.
Quoted from delt31:If you think people believe Chris is an investigator reporter, you're more lost than I originally thought
If you think I believe he is that, your reading comprehension is far worse than I thought.
Quoted from delt31:Chris is a leaker of what he hears and that info isn't given by the rest bc those folks are all pinball manufacturing ass kissers
It's sad you all gravitate to such a horrible person and source as some overreaction to other ass kissers. He is not the beacon in a dark stormy night.
"what he hears..." -- the guy is told stuff because people know what he will do with it.
Quoted from Rezdog:Almost perfect analogy.
I hated Pete Rose.
But his heart was in his game.
Maybe too much.
Yeah but at least Pete Rose knew something about baseball...
Quoted from dugmar:I love how so many resort to the "bUt hE doEsn'T eveN oWn a PINbaLl maChiNe" argument for him being unqualified. He has owned one of the most rare machines ever, being Magic Girl. Had probably one of the nicest Batman 66 machines ever, had a pretty rare Rick and Morty and has a GNR CE on order. I know other pinball podcasters that don't own a game and are just a qualified and informed on the hobby as Chris, if not more. Silly arguement.
Bottom line, his show is good. It is the best podcast with the largest audience for a reason. He has taken on the greed that has infected this hobby, and as a result has become the best consumer advocates out there for NIB buyers. I will never buy another NIB Stern after how it was exposed what they did with Elvira. No way. He doesn't mince words and doesn't hold back. If that upsets you, don't listen. He is right though, some of his biggest critics listen to every show. You know it is true.
Wow, surprised you can reach the keyboard being so far up his rear end. You've bought into everything he's ever sold it appears.
"best consumer advocate"? comical. What has he ever done for anyone besides rant about things online?
"taken on greed"? I think you mean parts in the greed as he pumps stuff and tries to capitalize on his own shilling
It's not about owning machines - anyone can jump in and order a game to their curb. The difference is most don't turn around try to paint themselves as the expert and advocate of a whole hobby when they are one of the greenest newbs around.
Trough for life!!
Quoted from dugmar:See, that is how you do it.
So instead of retorts you go for the personal attack? You follow your master well...
You also thought Chris was a consumer champ and knew what he was talking about.. so we already know your evaluation skills are garbage.
